  Emphasize Self-RAG's role as a novel framework implementation in the README

  Why:

  CURRENT

  This includes the original implementation of SELF-RAG: Learning to Retrieve, Generate and Critique through self-reflection (ICLR 2024, Oral top 1%) by Akari Asai, Zeqiu Wu, Yizhong Wang, Avirup Sil, and Hannaneh Hajishirzi.

  This repository provides the original implementation of **Self-RAG**, a novel framework for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) that enables Large Language Models to learn to retrieve, generate, and critique through self-reflection. Presented at ICLR 2024 (Oral top 1%), Self-RAG significantly enhances the factuality and quality of LLM generations.

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  ## Comparison with Traditional RAG
  
  Unlike traditional Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems where an LLM passively consumes retrieved context, Self-RAG empowers the LLM to actively retrieve information on demand, generate responses, and critically evaluate its own output using 'reflection tokens'. This self-correction mechanism allows for dynamic adaptation and significantly improves generation quality and factuality beyond static RAG approaches or general LLM frameworks.
